This little guy was born early on the evening of September 5th. His mother was diagnosed with severe preeclampsia and at 28 weeks and 4 days needed to deliver due to the deterioration in her own health. Pregnant with twins; unfortunately his sister did not make it and had passed away in the womb about a month prior. Born at 1 lb 15 oz this cutie continues to be in the NICU. He has underwent one surgical procedure on his little stomach and the family is unsure of what else will be in store for their little guy. I was so honored to give this family some photographs that can show their love for their beautiful little boy. This family is a wonderful example of why I love doing what I do. They have faith and a belief that he will grow and thrive into a healthy little boy. There are not always happy endings in the NICU but there is so much hope that lives there and it warms my heart every time I go and photograph a new little fighter. I don’t think I’ll ever stop doing this.

This little guy unexpectedly came into the world on September 15 weighing 4lbs 4oz. He is currently doing well in the NICU and when I visited he was weighing about 6lbs! I’m so blessed to meet these little ones. I’m still editing their session but when I get to share images I cannot wait . . .

I know I sound like a broken record but I honestly love love love doing these NICU sessions. I’m so fortunate to be invited into their lives to photograph and document just a bit of their journey. This lovely family got their images today so I get to share a few more images. Enjoy!

We don’t always get to share the NICU babies that The Tiny Footprints Project (TTFP) photographs. So its super exciting when we get to because I think its so important to share what TTFP is doing. A lot of families don’t know that this free service is available to them in the NICU. I’ve done a few now and I’m totally addicted. I just love visiting with these families and babies. Here is a recent session I did with Identical Boy Triplets! What are the odds! What a blessed family . . . .
